And stop trying to make the SP tackles all the time. For a kicker you are a tough dude no doubt. Your aging body will thank you for it. Thank you for your efforts for my Niners!

Seeing as we got all the way to the Super Bowl, and he played no part in our losing it, I hold zero animosity towards him.

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:14:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1920362#comment-2449945My favorite kicker of all time. Akers was a total class act while in Philadelphia. It’s not often you’re sad to see a kicker go but I was disappointed that Reid kept to his “30 and over, gotta go” rule when it came to Akers. Of course it worked out as Alex Henery has been extremely consistent. He can’t match Akers booming kickoffs though. Here’s hoping Akers returns to form with the Lions. I think he will.

Sat, 06 Apr 2013 04:18:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1920362#comment-2449911God bless Akers, but the Lions really don’t have clue what to do with their special teams. Go younger. Jason Hanson retired and this is your perfect opportunity to look forward to the future. Nope, you decide to do the stop-and-go approach, where Akers won’t be there long.

Unless the Lions end up drafting a kicker in the draft, this doesn’t make sense to me.

Jokes on you buddy! What ever will you do with such “classless” Ex-Niners! LOL

I hope Akers does well. He was hurt last year and completely stunk it up. But I think he still has something left. His leg was there, but something rattled his head after the 60 yarder against GB, and he was never the same. Best of luck to him, I hope he turns it around.

Its pretty pathetic actually and nobody in the world cares about your little fantasy football game. you are speaking about one of the most extreme micro-environments you could possibly come up with. NOBODY IN THE WORLD CARES unless you are giving us some sort of insight we can use.

Just think, he and Mason Crosby are in the same division now. Yowza! What’s the over under of missed field goals combined between the two now?

I bet lionsdraftguy is doing cartwheels because lions finally signed a niner, even though he’s a niner reject. JK he’ll probably have a good year.

He would the crush the ball in warmups; he just needs to get out of his own head and kick. You know what he can do if he’s right; that leg hasn’t disappeared. Disappointed with how things worked out, but I hope he kills it for the Lions.

However, I would have him on my team during the preseason with a backup in mind if he starts out bad next season. I don’t think this is a bad move by the Lions.
